Blue ice: Flickr photo of the day

“The pictures taken that day in front of the glacier and over it during a 7 hours trekking reflect the best adventure in my life. It was a dream fulfilled...” Those are the words of Sergio Torres, of Barcelona, Spain; referring to the day he photographed the Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park in southern Argentina.

Only 450 miles from the tip of the South American continent and Cape Horn, the glacier is one of the wildest and cleanest places ordinary vacationers can visit. Perito Moreno is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the third largest reserve of fresh water on earth. You can take a two-hour bus ride from the city of El Calafate and go trekking on the glacier. While you’re crampon-ing around, grab a little bit of that blue ice for drinks on your trip back to the city and see if it’s everything it’s cracked up to be.
